PTH-CONFIG(1)

NAME
pth-config - Pth library build utility

VERSION
GNU Pth 1.0.0 (16-Jul-1999)

SYNOPSIS
pth-config [--help] [--version] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs]

DESCRIPTION
The pth-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the pth(3) library. It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the pth(3) library.

OPTIONS
pth-config accepts the following options: Prints the short usage information. Prints the version number and date of the installed pth(3) library. Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the pth(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the CFLAGS variable of the applications Makefile. Prints the linker flags (-L) which are needed to link the application with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the LDFLAGS variable of the applications Makefile. Prints the library flags (-l) which are needed to link the application with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the LIBS variable of the applications Makefile.

EXAMPLE

 CC=cc
 CFLAGS=-O `pth-config --cflags`
 LDFLAGS=`pth-config --ldflags`
 LIBS=-lm `pth-config --libs`

 all: foo
 foo: foo.o
     $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
 foo.o: foo.c
     $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
